EK1 & Spange - Impressions from Forum members
G'day gang :-)
I've come across an WW1 EK1 with the WW2 spange physically attached; the rear face is a typical clamshell type setup, with a hook for the spange (no maker marks from what I can determine). I've never had the opportunity to grab an EK1 with spange, and just wondered if this item is in a pretty common configuration? I'm thinking that a WW1 EK1 with a WW2 spange would be pretty uncommon. I'd assume that the whole unit would've been produced by during WW2.
I have a spange in my own collection, but it's for attachment to the ribbon of an EK2.
Any thoughts, warmly received.
